1425 Notice of Actions Resulting from Federal Match Data - Based on the provisions of the Computer Matching and Privacy Protection Act, no immediate action to suspend, terminate, reduce, or deny assistance in the medical program may be taken as a result of information obtained through federal match data which has not been determined to be accurate and reliable by the federal agency producing the data. When the federal information has not been determined to be accurate and reliable, the individual must be given 30 days from the date the notice of action is received to verify or contest the match data. This means that such notice must be sent at least 35 days prior to the effective date of action for recipients or the date the application is to be processed for applicants.
Federal matches currently affected by these provisions include the PARIS, SIEVS (IRS and BEER data) match and VA match. It does not include BENDEX, SDX, SAVE information from INS, and third- party queries obtained through SSA as all of these data exchanges are either considered to be accurate and reliable or involve a computer match process between state and federal records. It also does not include Employment Security matches as this is not a direct federal-state match.
